A contingent of 200 British troops began arriving in Kosovo late on October 6, NATO and Britain’s Defense Ministry reported. The troops will bolster the 400-strong British force already in the country as part of an annual NATO exercise there. The additional troops will be under NATO command and authorized to conduct operations under the KFOR mandate.

Germany said on October 6 that it would deploy an additional 155 troops to Kosovo beginning in April 2024. To read the original story by RFE/RL’s Balkan Service, click here.
